Do celebrities really say stupider things than the rest of us, or do we just have more opportunities to catch them with their feet in their mouths? Whatever the answer, the following quotes attributed to celebs are such flagrant abuses of language and sense, they should make you feel better about not having millions of dollars, designer clothes and a personal assistant.

The most epic celebrity foot-in-mouth moments of all time

“I’ve got taste. It’s inbred in me.”

Can taste really be bred? That’s debatable. But to inbreed it is just wrong. But you’ve got to hand it to David Hasselhoff – his misuse of the English language isn’t as off-putting as his misuse of hamburgers.Getty Images

Oh, Dubya – the White House hasn’t been nearly as hilarious without you and your Bushisms. To be fair, this malapropism isn’t the most egregious thing you’ve ever said: hostile and hostage – the word you meant to use – are fairly similar. And unlike misunderestimate, another Bush gem, at least hostile is a word!Getty Images

"I'd rather smoke crack than eat cheese from a tin."

If you think our lady GOOP is uber serious about her diet, you’re right. But Gwyneth’s even MORE serious about her kids’ diet, once saying, "I would rather die than let my kid eat Cup-a-Soup."Getty Images

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across the country."

Now this is a contender for most egregious Bushism. The verbally-challenged former POTUS was trying to express his concern that many qualified doctors weren’t practicing the career they love, but it came out all wrong.Getty Images

"Is it kinda weird that I'm getting a little bit emotionable?"

2005 was a rough year for Jessica Simpson – she and former costar/husband Nick Lachey had announced their split mere days before she accepted the VH1 Big in ’05 Award for Big Stylin’. Anyone would feel emotionable after ups and downs like that.Getty Images

“Peaceful Muslims, pls refudiate,”

Is it just us, or do Republicans misuse language more than their Democratic counterparts? Whatever the case, Sarah Palin’s tweet is technically no longer a malapropism. In 2010, the New Oxford American Dictionary added ‘refudiate’ – a portmanteau of ‘refute’ and ‘repudiate,’ to the lexicon. Note, it still goes unrecognized by Microsoft Word’s spell checker.Getty Images

''I can't really remember the names of the clubs we went to.”

Shaquille O’Neal was asked if he visited the Parthenon. Oh, y’know, clubs, ancient Greek temples. When it’s good times wherever you go, it’s hard to keep them straight.Getty Images

“So where’s the Cannes film festival being held this year?”

The answer, Xtina, is Russia.Getty Images

“I guess I’m going to fade into Bolivian.”

Clearly Mike Tyson knows as little about Bolivia as he does oblivion, because one does not fade into Bolivian – one shines into it.Getty Images

“In the studio I do try to have a thought in my head so that it’s not like a blank stare.”

"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."

The Republican Party took a brief turn towards the shocking when former American VP Dan Quayle confused bondage – binding for erotic purposes – and bonding (what parents and their children really need).Getty Images

“I want Brooklyn to be christened, but don't know into what religion yet."

Oh, Becks. There’s only one religion that does christenings – the clue is in the first six letters.Getty Images

“Please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only Adele Dazeem.”

It’s true that Idina Menzel – the name John Travolta was supposed to pronounce at the 2014 Academy Awards – isn’t all that common. It’s also true that John Travolta was reading a teleprompter and still mangled it.Getty Images

"Is this chicken, what I have, or is this fish? I know it's tuna, but it says 'Chicken of the Sea’.”

Hey, Jessica Simpson’s not that bad. She did answer her own question, after all. Here she is pictured at a Chicken of The Sea conference she visited after making her famous proclamation. No doubt its attendees schooled her on what’s in the can.Getty Images

"I think that gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman."

Ah Arnold, gay marriage – or as we call it in Canada, marriage.Getty Images

"I wouldn't regret [my "Brian" tattoo] if we weren't together. I can always have a kid and name him Brian. There are options."

We’re torn on whether this gem from Megan Fox, who is married to Brian Austin Green, is pure stupidity or brilliance.Getty Images
